¹He arose from there and came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan. Multitudes came together to him again. As he usually did, he was again teaching them.

¹Ary niainga niala teo Jesosy, dia tonga tany amin'ny sisin-tanin'i Jodia sy tany an-dafin'i Jordana; ary nisy vahoaka betsaka indray niangona teo aminy; koa araka ny fanaony dia nampianatra azy indray Izy.

²Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”

²Ary nisy Fariseo nanatona Ary, dia naka fanahy Azy ka nanontany hoe: Mahazo misao-bady va ny lehilahy?

³He answered, “What did Moses command you?”

³Ary Izy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Ahoana no nandidian'i Mosesy anareo?

⁴They said, “Moses allowed a certificate of divorce to be written, and to divorce her.”

⁴Ary hoy izy: Navelan'i Mosesy hanoratra taratasy fisaoram-bady ny lehilahy ka hisao-bady (Deo. 24.1).

⁵But Jesus said to them, “For your hardness of heart, he wrote you this commandment.

⁵Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Ny hamafin'ny fonareo no nanoratany izany didy izany ho anareo;

⁶ But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. Genesis 1:27

⁶fa hatramin'ny fony vao nanaovana izao tontolo izao dia lahy sy vavy no nanaovany ny olona (Gen. 1.27).

⁷ For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife,

⁷Ary noho izany ny lehilahy dia handao ny rainy sy ny reniny ka hikambana amin'ny vadiny;

⁸ and the two will become one flesh, Genesis 2:24 so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.

⁸ary ho nofo iray izy roroa (Gen. 2. 24); ka dia tsy ho roa intsony izy, fa ho nofo iray ihany.

⁹ What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”

⁹Koa izay nakamban'Andriamanitra dia aoka tsy hampisarahin'olona.

¹⁰In the house, his disciples asked him again about the same matter.

¹⁰Ary nony mby tao an-trano, dia nanontany ny amin'izany koa ny mpianatra.

¹¹He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her.

¹¹Ary hoy izy taminy: Na zovy na zovy no misao-bady ka mampakatra vehivavy hafa, dia mijangajanga ka manala-baraka ny vadiny.[Na: mijangajanga mandika ny lalàn'ny fanambadiana ny amin'ny vadiny]

¹² If a woman herself divorces her husband, and marries another, she commits adultery.”

¹²Ary raha ravehivavy kosa no misaotra ny lahy ka manambady olon-kafa, dia mijangajanga izy.

¹³They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.

¹³Ary nisy nitondra zazakely ho eo aminy mba hametrahany tanana; fa ny mpianany niteny mafy ireny.

¹⁴But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said to them, “Allow the little children to come to me! Don’t forbid them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

¹⁴Nefa tezitra Jesosy, raha nahita izany, ka hoy Izy taminy: Avelao ny zaza hanatona Ahy, ary aza raràna; fa an'ny toa azy ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

¹⁵ Most certainly I tell you, whoever will not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”

¹⁵Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Na zovy na zovy no tsy handray ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra tahaka ny zaza, dia tsy ho tafiditra aminy akory.

¹⁶He took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his hands on them.

¹⁶Ary nitrotro azy Izy, dia nametra-tanana taminy ka nitso-drano azy.

¹⁷As he was going out into the way, one ran to him, knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”

¹⁷Ary nony vao nivoaka nankeny an-dalana Jesosy, dia nisy olona anankiray nihazakazaka nanatona ka nandohalika teo anatrehany ary nanontany Azy hoe: Mpampianatra tsara ô, inona no hataoko handovako fiainana mandrakizay?

¹⁸Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except one—God.

¹⁸Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Nahoana Aho no ataonao hoe tsara? Tsy misy tsara afa-tsy Iray ihany, dia Andriamanitra.

¹⁹ You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not give false testimony,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘Honor your father and mother.’” Exodus 20:12-16; Deuteronomy 5:16-20

¹⁹Fantatrao ny didy hoe: Aza mamono olona, Aza mijangajanga, Aza mangalatra, Aza mety ho vavolombelona mandainga, Aza manambaka, Manajà ny rainao sy ny reninao (Eks. 20. 12-17).

²⁰He said to him, “Teacher, I have observed all these things from my youth.”

²⁰Ary hoy izy taminy Mpampianatra ô, izany rehetra izany efa notandremako hatry ny fony aho mbola kely.

²¹Jesus looking at him loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross.”

²¹Ary Jesosy nijery azy tsara, dia tia azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Diso zavatra iray loha ianao; mandehana, amidio izay rehetra anananao ka omeo ny malahelo, dia hanana rakitra any an-danitra ianao; ary avia hanaraka Ahy.

²²But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions.

²²Dia nanjombona terỳ ny tarehiny tamin'izany teny izany, ka niala tamin'alahelo izy, satria nanana harena be.

²³Jesus looked around, and said to his disciples, “How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!”

²³Ary Jesosy nijery manodidina ka nanao tamin'ny mpianany hoe: Manao ahoana ny hasarotry ny hidiran'ny manan-karena amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra!

²⁴The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, “Children, how hard is it for those who trust in riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!

²⁴Ary ny mpianatra dia gaga tamin'ny teniny. Fa Jesosy namaly indray ka nanao taminy hoe: Anaka, manao ahoana ny hasarotry ny hidiran'ny matoky ny harena amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra!

²⁵ It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”

²⁵Moramora kokoa ny hidiran'ny rameva amin'ny vodi-fanjaitra noho ny hidiran'ny manan-karena amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

²⁶They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, “Then who can be saved?”

²⁶Dia talanjona indrindra izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Iza indray no azo hovonjena?[ Na: nifampilaza].

²⁷Jesus, looking at them, said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God.”

²⁷Fa Jesosy nijery azy ka nanao hoe: Raha amin'ny olona, dia zavatra tsy hainy izany; fa tsy mba tahaka izany amin'Andriamanitra; fa ny zavatra rehetra dia hain'Andriamanitra.

²⁸Peter began to tell him, “Behold, we have left all, and have followed you.”

²⁸Ary hoy Petera taminy: Indro, izahay efa nahafoy ny zavatra rehetra ka nanaraka Anao.

²⁹Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land, for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News,

²⁹Hoy Jesosy: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa: Tsy misy olona efa nahafoy trano, na rahalahy, na anabavy, na reny, na ray, na zanaka, na tany, noho ny amiko sy ny filazantsara,

³⁰ but he will receive one hundred times more now in this time, houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and land, with persecutions; and in the age to come eternal life.

³⁰ka tsy handray zato heny amin'izao andro ankehitriny izao-dia trano sy rahalahy sy anabavy sy reny sy zanaka sy tany mbamin'ny fanenjehana-ary amin'ny andro ho avy dia fiainana mandrakizay.

³¹ But many who are first will be last; and the last first.”

³¹Nefa maro izay voalohany no ho farany, ary izay farany no ho voalohany.

³²They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going in front of them, and they were amazed; and those who followed were afraid. He again took the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him.

³²Ary Jesosy sy ny mpianany dia teny an-dalana niakatra ho any Jerosalema, ary Jesosy nandeha eo alohany; dia gaga ny mpianany, ary izay nanaraka Azy dia natahotra. Ary naka ny roa ambin'ny folo lahy indray Izy, dia nilaza taminy izay efa hanjo Azy

³³ “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles.

³³ka nanao hoe: Indro, miakatra ho any Jerosalema isika; ary ny Zanak'olona hatolotra ho amin'ireo lohan'ny mpisorona sy mpanora-dalàna; ary hohelohiny ho faty Izy ka hatolony amin'ny jentilisa;

³⁴ They will mock him, spit on him, scourge him, and kill him. On the third day he will rise again.”

³⁴ary hanao Azy ho fihomehezana ireny sy handrora Azy sy hikapoka Azy ary hahafaty Azy; fa rehefa afaka hateloana, dia hitsangana indray Izy.

³⁵James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came near to him, saying, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we will ask.”

³⁵Ary Jakoba sy Jaona, zanak'i Zebedio, nanatona an'i Jesosy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mpampianatra ô, tianay mba hataonao aminay izay angatahinay aminao.

³⁶He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”

³⁶Ary hoy Izy taminy: Inona moa no tianareo hataoko aminareo?

³⁷They said to him, “Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right hand, and one at your left hand, in your glory.”

³⁷Dia hoy izy mirahalahy taminy: Mba ekeo ny hipetrahanay, ny anankiray ho eo amin'ny ankavananao, ary ny anankiray ho eo amin'ny an-kavianao, any amin'ny voninahitrao.

³⁸But Jesus said to them, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”

³⁸Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Tsy fantatrareo izay angatahinareo; hainareo va ny hisotro amin'ny kapoaka izay sotroiko, na ny hatao batisa amin'ny batisa izay anaovana Ahy batisa?

³⁹They said to him, “We are able.” Jesus said to them, “You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;

³⁹Dia hoy izy mirahalahy taminy: Hainay ihany. Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Raha ny kapoaka izay sotroiko, dia hosotroinareo ihany, ary ny batisa izay anaovana Ahy batisa dia hanaovana anareo ihany;

⁴⁰ but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared.”

⁴⁰fa ny hipetraka eo an-tanako ankavanana na eo an-tanako ankavia kosa, dia tsy Ahy ny hanome izany, fa izay nanamboarana izany no homena.

⁴¹When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant towards James and John.

⁴¹Ary nony nandre izany izy folo lahy, dia tezitra noho ny nataon'i Jakoba sy Jaona izy.

⁴²Jesus summoned them, and said to them, “You know that they who are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

⁴²Fa Jesosy niantso azy hanatona Azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Fantatrareo fa izay eken'ny jentilisa ho mpanapaka dia mampanompo azy, ary ny lehibeny dia mifehy azy.

⁴³ But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant.

⁴³Fa tsy mba toy izany aminareo; fa na iza na iza no te-ho lehibe eo aminareo, dia ho mpanompo anareo izy.

⁴⁴ Whoever of you wants to become first among you, shall be bondservant of all.

⁴⁴Ary na iza na iza no te-ho ambony eo aminareo, dia ho mpanompon'izy rehetra.

⁴⁵ For the Son of Man also came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

⁴⁵Fa ny Zanak'olona tsy tonga mba hotompoina, fa mba hanompo ka hanolotra ny ainy ho avotra hisolo ny maro.

⁴⁶They came to Jericho. As he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.

⁴⁶Ary tonga tao Jeriko izy; ary raha vao niala tao Jeriko Jesosy mbamin'ny mpianany sy ny vahoaka betsaka, dia nipetraka teo amoron-dalana Bartimeo jamba mpangataka, zanak'i Timeo.

⁴⁷When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”

⁴⁷Ary nony reny fa, injay! Jesosy avy any Nazareta, dia niantso izy ka nanao hoe: Ry Jesosy, Zanak'i Davida ô, mamindrà fo amiko!

⁴⁸Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he cried out much more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”

⁴⁸Ary maro no niteny mafy azy mba hangina; fa vao mainka niantsoantso izy ka nanao hoe: Ry Zanak'i Davida ô, mamindrà fo amiko.

⁴⁹Jesus stood still, and said, “Call him.” They called the blind man, saying to him, “Cheer up! Get up. He is calling you!”

⁴⁹Ary Jesosy nijanona, dia nanao hoe: Antsoy ilay jamba. Ary ny olona niantso azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Matokia, mitsangàna, miantso anao Izy.

⁵⁰He, casting away his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus.

⁵⁰Dia nanary ny lambany izy ka niantsambotra nankeo amin'i Jesosy.

⁵¹Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “Rabboni, Rabboni is a transliteration of the Hebrew word for “great teacher.” that I may see again.”

⁵¹Ary Jesosy namaly azy hoe: Inona no tianao hataoko aminao? Ary hoy ilay jamba taminy: Rabôny ô, ny mba hampahiratina ny masoko.Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Mandehana ianao, ny finoanao no efa namonjy anao. Dia nahiratra niaraka tamin'izay ny masony, ka nanaraka an'i Jesosy teny an-dalana izy.

⁵²Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your faith has made you well.” Immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

⁵²Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Mandehana ianao, ny finoanao no efa namonjy anao. Dia nahiratra niaraka tamin'izay ny masony, ka nanaraka an'i Jesosy teny an-dalana izy.
